Brush burner



Aug. 26 1930. c. HENSEL BRUSH BURNER Filed July 2, 192a WITNESS ATTORN EY Patented Aug. 26, 1930 UNITED STATES HARRY G. HENSEL, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON BRUSH BURNER 1 Application filed July 2, 1928. Serial No. 289,656.

My invention relates to brush burners, and it consists in the constructions, arrangements and combinations of parts herein described and claimed.

It is an object of my invention to provide a brush burner of knockdown construction, which may be readily transported from place to place, as required.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a burner having wall constructions embodying interlocking means, whereby the burner may be quickly'dismantled.

Additional objects, advantages and features of invention will be apparent from the 16 following description and accompanying drawings forming a part of this application,

in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a brushbers 2 and 3 constituting side and endwalls;

The members 2 and 3 may be of any suitable length and width, and the member 2 is provided with outwardly turned flanged portions l extending the full width of the member 2, along the free edges thereof. The member 3 is similarly formed with flange portions 5, but these portions 5 are turned inwardly so as to interlock with the flanges i, as clearly shown in Figure 7. I

The members 2 and 3 are held in their mutual interlocked relationby metallic-stakes 6, driven into the ground adjacent the bight portions 7 otthe members 2 and 3.; "j

plate being substantially rectangular in plan, and of a size to completely cover the members 2 and 3 when disposed thereover, as illustrated in Figure 1. One end of the plate 8 has an opening 9 adapted to receive a stove pipe 10 whichis preferably provided with a damper 11. In order to' properly guard against flying sparks, the section 12 of the pipe 10 has a screened cap 13.

In the use of my device, the sections 2 and 3 are set up so that their respective flanges 4: and 5-are in interlocking engagement, as shown in Figure 7. ,The stakes 6 are next driven into the earth at a point adjacent the bight portions 7 tohold the sections 2 and 3 in mutual engagement. The material to be burned may now be deposited within the burner, defined by the sections 2 and 3, and i the top plate 8 is disposed thereover. It will thus be seen that the burning material will be safely confined within the burner, and

flying sparks will be prevented from escaping from the pipe 10 by virtue of the screened cap 13. At the end opposite the stove pipe 10, the earth adjacent the bight portion 7 is removed as indicated at 14:, thereby affording a draft. The burning of the material may F be further regulated by manipulation of the damper 11', as will be readily understood.

From the foregoing, it will be readily seen that I have provided a brush burner which may bevquickly erected and dismantled and one which will be effective in confining a fire within the bounds of the burner.

I claim: I 1. A knockdown brush burner comprising a pair of U-shaped sections, one of said sections having out turned flanges and said other sections having inturned flanges, said flanges being in mutual interlocking engagement, removable stakes adjacent the bight portions of said U -shaped sections, and a removable top cover for said U-shaped sections.

2. A knock-down brush burner comprising a plurality of flexible sheets bent intermediate their ends,'means interconnecting said sections at their endsconsisting of oppositely disposed, inter-locking flanges formed on said ends, removable stakes engageable with A top or cover plate 8 is provided, this removable top cover for said sheets.
